But it requires cooperation by both parties, only one of whom will win the cup

We don't actually know what happens if House Points tie. Presumably this doesn't happen because Dumbledore or some other professor breaks it?

If I remember right, Quiddich is scored in increments of ten, so if the current House Points score for one of the contenders isn't a multiple of that it's impossible to tie them based on Quiddich scores. I don't remember seeing anyone giving out one or two House Points at a time, but we've seen five.

I seem to recall many single points issued in academic settings, and I also seem to recall the conversion from Quirrell points to House points allowing single numbers.

I imagine it helps to have a Professor in on the scheme.
